Chapter 320 Fundraising (Third Change)

Whoops!

Su Hanyun's expression was extremely solemn, and he brought Zhang Tinghai into the majestic Chengqian Hall. At this moment, Qin Zhong and others were discussing some matters in the hall, and when they saw Su Hanyun and Zhang Tinghai appearing, their faces were full of seriousness that could not be concealed. , stood up to greet them one after another.

"Supervisor, Dean Zhang!"

"No nonsense!"

Su Hanyun glanced over several people, waved his hands casually, and then sat in his own seat, looking at Hubu Shangshu with a hint of solemnity in his eyes, and said in a low voice,
"How's the preparation for the construction of the cruiser?"

"This……"

Hubu Shangshu Bai Hou heard the words, his face showed a dignified and bitter taste, he stood up slowly, with a look of shame in his eyes, he said,
"Ashamed of the Lord's high hopes!"

"Just now, a few people like me were discussing this matter. We gathered the strength of the six departments, and we raised money everywhere, but we only got together less than 500 million taels. Now it is 5000 million taels, which is still 500 million taels short. Two, haven't settled down yet."

Snapped!
Hearing this, Su Hanyun showed an indescribably ferocious expression on his face. There is still a short of 500 million taels. This is not a small amount, and it will definitely delay the time for the cruiser to go to sea. A large-scale crisis is about to erupt!

However, Su Hanyun didn't blame these ministers too much. He was well aware of the situation in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Although the economy has developed rapidly in recent years, the court has definitely done a lot of things, such as opening canals, building free private schools, etc. Wait, the cost of money is also extraordinarily huge, and now they are surrounded by enemies, and the amount spent on military battles is definitely not a small number. It is very rare for them to be able to raise so much money under such circumstances!

But it's not enough!

After pondering for a moment, he frowned slightly, leaned forward two steps, and said with an unconcealable seriousness on his face,

"There is another way!"

"To raise money across the country, all merchants are required to donate and pay money, and the Great Zhou court has backed up the records one by one. After the war is over, it will make up for it with preferential tax policies!"

"This……"

When the several ministers heard this sentence, their faces showed a trace of solemnity and unconcealable worry. After pondering for a moment, Qin Zhong stood up, and said in a low voice that could not be concealed,

"Master, if this happens, I'm afraid it will cause panic among the people of Dazhou. If something happens inside us, it will really be chaos!"

"Our family knows!"

Su Hanyun sighed slightly and said,
"However, this is the only way to go. The construction of the cruiser must not be delayed, otherwise the war will expand and everything will be unimaginable. Let's do it like this. If there is any problem, let's discuss and solve it!"

"Yes!"

Qin Zhong and the others also understood Su Hanyun's meaning, indeed, this is the only way to raise money at this time, if the delay continues, something big will happen, and they must take the risk!

"Let's do it right now!"

Several Shangshu were preparing to leave with unconcealable solemnity on their faces, but Su Hanyun immediately informed them that the Cruiser would be sent to the coast of the East China Sea for construction, and then said,

"The construction of the Cruiser is the most important thing. You should greet the government along the way in advance and cooperate fully without any delay. Otherwise, we will take them as questions!"

"Yes!"

Qin Zhong and the others looked awe-inspiring, and they all bowed their hands.

……

The matter of the Great Zhou court raising donations was spread to all parts of the country as quickly as possible under the vigorous publicity of the local governments, and immediately caused an uproar among the people, almost shocking the whole country.

Jiangnan Daolin's house!
The scorching sun poured down from the sky, Lin Yuzhi stood in the gazebo, with his hands behind his back, his eyes swept across the sky, and behind him, the housekeeper at home was carefully telling the battle situation between the East China Sea and the South China Sea, Hearing what the old housekeeper said, his brows were particularly frowned, and there was an unconcealable solemnity and depression permeating it.

"Chen Steward, in the name of the Jiangnan Road Chamber of Commerce, summoned all the merchants in Jiangnan Road, no matter how big or small, to the Lin family, and told them that if they don't arrive at noon three days later, they will not give Lin Yuzhi face. From now on, The Lin family will no longer have the slightest business relationship with them!"

After listening to the old housekeeper's narration, Lin Yuzhi pondered for a moment, and said with an unconcealable awe in his voice.

"Yes, master!"

The old butler with an old face hurriedly left the courtyard, and within half an hour, countless members of the Lin family roared towards Jiangnan Road in all directions.

Three days passed quickly, and at noon on this day, nearly five hundred shopkeepers and shopkeepers of large and small merchants, etc., all appeared in the Lin family compound. As the first Lin family in Jiangnan Road, Lin Yuzhi There is this appeal.

"Everyone, I believe you all know about the war in the East China Sea and the South China Sea. Lin will not say more."

Lin Yuzhi glanced at a group of merchants with unconcealable solemnity, and then slowly raised the wine glass in his hand. With a respectful face, he cupped his hands in the east and south directions, with an unconcealable deep voice in his voice, road,
"For this glass of wine, Lin first toasts to the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for me and fought bloody battles!"

Whoa!

The wine was spilled on the ground, and Lin Yuzhi threw the wine bowl to the ground, breaking it into countless pieces. The atmosphere in the venue became extremely solemn and depressing, and there was a wave of fierceness spreading. Lin Yuzhi turned around, looked at the crowd, and said,

"Second thing, Lin said about the donation!"

"You should all know that in recent years, although the imperial court has collected commercial taxes, it has actually treated us well. The opening of the canal is the greatest convenience. In addition, the imperial court has increased restrictions on officials from all over the country and killed a large number of corrupt officials. We Doing business is also much easier, just talking about filial piety to those officials, there is almost nothing!"

"Generally speaking, we are all beneficiaries!"

"What's more, the imperial court took our money and didn't do anything bad. The expansion of the North-South Canal is for the people of the world, for the country and the country, and private schools have been established all over the country, free private schools, for the people's families to study, just like this , my Great Zhou has been free from disasters for several years, and it is now flourishing!"

"We can hold our heads up."

"Think about it yourself, I don't want to talk about it one by one!"

"I just want to say that this kind of court is Lin, the court that the people all over the world admire, and Lin is willing to submit to such a court!"

"Now that the court is in trouble, it is Lin's duty to do so!"

"When the family and the country are in trouble, everyone is responsible!"

"Lin decided to respond to the court's call and dedicate his meager efforts!"

"The Lin family will donate 1000 million taels of silver and 500 million dans of grain. With the full strength of the Lin family, we will help Da Zhou get through this difficult time!"

"In addition, Lin has gathered all the guardians from all over the Lin family, intending to stop a rebel army and hand it over to the imperial court to go to the East China Sea and South China Sea to fight against the barbarians!"

"That's what Lin said, you can figure it out!"
